Oh, come on. He's exactly the opposite type of person these laws were designed to stop.

Can always trust the cops to abuse whatever laws are available to them...

Its the NSW police. They're jealous that this shopkeeper can display images that are clearly parody, while they can't display similar images in their private lives in earnest.
